October 21 - [10:07 PM]

Temperature: 27° C
Set feeding time: Approximately 9:45 AM. Waiting for 4 PM & 11 PM.
Fed: Morning.
What to feed next day: Feed #2 (The Redd)
Abnormal behavior: One of my cichlids is not eating.
Lights On At: Today at 13 AM.
Water change date: 10/17/2021

Note: Ehhhh, today is quite strange. Either one of the new cichlids is picky, too stressed or ill. I don't know which it is. But there are thankfully no signs of illnesses. I am hoping that he is just very picky. Or he wants to rest or that he is not used to feeding in the mornings or something. The water quality could also be the reason, but all of the other cichlids are fine with the water quality. Even that cichlid's partner is quite energetic, so I can rule water quality out.
What I am feeding them today is the bland feed, so the pickiness could really be the reason. I do think I remember that cichlid eating the flakes with everyone else yesterday. It hides and as I was trying to get it outside of the hiding place, thinking it was just not used to feeding in the mornings, it was not leaving. I was even touching its tail... well, its cute, but I still gotta see. This time during the day, I would first feed a little of the bland things to my fish to test if it was just my cichlid being not used to feeding in the mornings. Then if it doesn't work, I would switch to the flakes. If it still doesn't feed, then I will worry about the illnesses. For now I can only do further research. Maybe its too stressed after all. I dunno why. Gotta observe more.

      Buy two kinds of fish food.. one that will just float and one that will sink..you have so see/experiment what fish food the fish will eat..the one that will sink is you have to put them one by one and drop in in front of the fish..also only put a little amount or just enough..so the water will not smell so you'll not change the water that often...also buy a janitor fish so those waste sinking fish food, the janitor fish eat them..they like the sweeper or..yeah a janitor..XD
